[Fluxus] editor in scheme

Dear list,

I just accidentally came across this;
http://www.stripedgazelle.org/joey/dreamos.html
That's a version of Scheme you can -apparently- boot of a floppy,
instead of a OS.

Where it gets interesting is that it includes a primitive vi clone,
done in scheme, for this OS's editor. This sounds like the kind of
thing we could borrow, bolt to something like my scene-graph printing
stuff, and use as a start to have the editor in Scheme. On the
downside I couldn't find a license yet.

Does that sound at all sensible? I'm not aware of much practical
progress being made in this direction, aside from everyone so far
agreeing that it'd be a fun and useful idea.

Yours,
Kas.
